Some slob in my building had a roach problem and we were given warning that they would be spraying all of the apartments. So I packed all fifteen of my babies up and drove them over to their "uncle's" apartment for a week. They had a great time over there because my roommate won't let me turn the heat in our apartment up past 70 degrees and their uncle kept his place at a solid 75 degrees. This meant a week of more eating and anybody who had an itch to molt went ahead and did so. I went and visited them every couple of days to change there water and then I'd just sit and stare at their little containers. They were happy, but I missed them so much! I had this eerie hole-left-in-my-heart feeling the whole time they were gone. Now they are all home safe and sound. Except for my little B. smithi who I left there because he is suddenly really dark in a solid premolt and I didn't want to disturb him with a sudden move.
So glad they are home.

I had to go out of town for a few weeks, and left my T's at another friends place. I was so glad I did, because he keeps his T room at 82 and almost all of them molted! It's like the old saying, "a watched pot doesn't boil." I almost wanted to leave them there!
Yay for T's molting in our absence. However, it's always nice to have our babies back. Hope your smithi pops soon!

I know how you feel. It's so good to see your Ts in an environment that seems to suit them better. Fortunatly my roommate has agreed that I can get a space heater for them, so I should be able to have them grow a bit faster under my own care soon!

I know how you feel about having a hole in your heart. I have already grown so attached to all 13 of mine!!! Sometimes I want to hug them!
Especially the little feisty ones. They're so small yet they try so hard to be tough, it's cute more than it is scary.
I dunno though, I really love my little a.hentzi baby. He(she?) is such a little sweetpea, sometimes it's like he even has a hard time killing crickets because he's so gentle (though he eventually gets them).

I'm glad that the "separation period" is over for you too! I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have them on the tables to look over every few hours.... probably go batty!! LOL.

Here, here Fred! I am in my room multiple times a day, and even if I don't have to, I still find myself going to that side of the room to take a peek.
Glad everyone is home safely, except the smithi of course.
